My handsome boys

6th, 4th and 2nd grade. I can hardly believe that this is the last year all 3 of them will go to the same school. It has blown by! I'm so grateful for the good young men they are. They make me crazy at times but I love them regardless. I love that they really are best friends. We've spent some really good quality time this summer together and even though I always look forward to getting back to a routine, I really will miss each of them during the school year.

Here's to a great 2014-2015 school year! Go get 'em boys!!!

 

Odgen Temple Open House

On our way back home from the cabin we stopped at the Ogden Temple Open House. In my mind I envisioned a spiritually uplifting, amazing family experience.

That wasn't the case though. Anna, who was lacking about 3 hours of sleep pretty much ruined the whole experience for me. Luckily, we were able to exit the temple quickly and relieve everyone of Anna's non stop crying, kicking and screaming. I was mostly concerned that my boys had a special time. Dallin told me he was glad we went because he felt like he had a better understanding of what we do there and why temples are so important. (Success!!)

 

Sigh. I just kept singing the words in my mind, "You're gonna miss this....you're gonna want this back, you're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast."

 

Such is life right now. Love this sassy little lady. Even when she is a drama queen.

Cabin Trip Labor Day Weekend

A trip to the cabin has been long overdue. We didn't make it down there once last year and I've really been missing it. The entire Starnes Family was able to get there this year and it was a great time. We rode 4 wheelers, shot the gun, played outside, make buddy burner breakfast (Mak and I WON this year!....Oh yeah!) fishing up at Smith and Moorehouse, and had fun spending time and playing games together. I wish I could bottle up the air at the cabin. It smells so amazing. I miss it already!
